The Acting Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Dauda Ali Biu has warned the commanding officers nationwide to ensure that the personnel avoid piloting political convoys.
He also warned that personnel must maintain political neutrality, as well as avoid any form of participation in political rallies and campaigns.
The directive, in a statement by the Corps’ spokesperson, ACP Bisi Kazeem made available to newsmen on Monday, is in accordance with the FRSC (Establishment) Act, which stipulates the status of the Corps as a public service agency that does not have any political affiliation, but to provide essential services to all citizens, irrespective of their political interests or representation.
“The Commanding Officers were however, directed to be sensitive to the plight of road users and prepare to tackle any traceable traffic gridlock that could arise as a result of the aforementioned political activities by ensuring adequate deployment of personnel for ease of movement in form of traffic controls and traffic calming.
“He reassured the public of the Corps’ readiness and commitment to making the roads safer at all times and admonished them to always abide by established road traffic regulations,” the statement reads.
